the next day

an antique pastiche of a day
a fucked up jumble of a day
a forget about it because i already forgot
kind of a day
when your veins run hot
with something unnatural
masquerading as chemical blessing
perhaps for some
my insides recoil
addled
hopeful
unknown
let’s go

I'm Briar – Briar Lawry, if you were wondering which particular one. Raw Library is an anagram of my name and a place for my writing – about anything, in theory, but mostly about books, the music industry and chronic illness. And sometimes coffee.
